My dear brothers, brothers and sisters

after praising Allah subhanho wa Taala

and sending salutations to His Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

I wish to remind myself and you have a very important concept and that is taqwa being mindful of ALLAH SubhanA wa to Allah's presence in the fact that Allah watches us

and fearing Allah Subhana Allah as he should be feared.

I also want to remind you and myself

that whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, that individual is really guided

and whoever chooses to disobey Allah, His Messenger, then that person hurts no one but themselves.

Ask Allah Subhana Allah to make you and I have the people of Taqwa.

Today I wanted to remind

you and I

have a beautiful Hadith on the authority of horrible horrible the Allahu Allah.

And I wish I had

I was in a better breathing situation, because this is a hotwire. I've been very excited about it for the past. Actually, two weeks I've been working on it. That's of Hala.

It's the culture of Allah subhanho wa taala.

And the hadith is very consoling actually.

So I was debating with myself whether I should talk about it or not.

Or put it off for some later time. But I said you know, Memphis is unpredictable.

Who knows what you know. So this is a this is a this is the toughest season for me when it comes to allergies.

You know, spring spring is not as bad for me.

So bear with me, sha Allah to Allah. But interestingly, the Hadith talks about strength and power.

That's how the process begins it. The messenger of allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the authority of Abu Huraira was reported to have said the following. Let me know Are we

clear on what I have bought in Allah human life?

So I'm going to break down the Hadith into

about five or six parts.

First statement that is reported to us is the prophet of Allah alayhi salam saying the following

Meanwhile coffee

the strong believer

say urine is better. We're happy to eat Allah and more loved or Dear to Allah azza wa jal

Mina Mina la Eve from the weak believer,

that's the first statement.

Second statement, with equally in fire.

And in both,

there is good.

Right? Even the weak believers still

better than an unbeliever.

So that's a second statement. Third statement is Allah man for Oak the Prophet SAW Selim says,

addressing who

the believer addressing you and I, the promises Selim says it rissalah Man for Oak adhere to that which benefits you

focus on that which is beneficial to you.

That's the third statement

was staring below he will have to adjust

the province of Allah Allah Salam says

and keep asking Allah azza wa jal for help and assistance

and do not quit.

Do not give up

Do not quit or do not give up that urges.

The next statement the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says we're in our Slava can show you on fella taco, Lo, n ni for L two can occur Canada or Canada.

And if something afflicts you, something goes wrong.

Then do not say

if I had taken this, or that step, if I had done this or that, don't say that.

Right? Had I done this had I? I should have Don't say stuff like that.

Well I can pull but instead, say,

God, Allah, Who am I shove?

Allah has willed. And whatever Allah Subhana Allah wills he does, or further Allah, in another narration, under allah, this is the will of Allah, this is Adam.

Recall your faith or you believe in Qatar and say this is the power of Allah.

There is not much I could have done to change the fate.

Right? This is part of Allah. This is the destiny of Allah azza wa jal. This is what Allah azza wa jal has written, for me or for whoever it is, that I'm regretting.

Without your polka dot Allah hamartia.

Then the promises and sell them gives us a golden rule. He says, For in low TAFTA, who am Allah shaytaan

lo, the Arabic word that would be equivalent to F.

If low, you know, low Kanika Kanika. If I did this, then maybe the outcome would have been different. We always say this, the province has said and says that opens the gates of satanic thoughts.

That opens the gates wide open, it's just opens.

Right? The gates of shaytaan you're inviting shaitan over

and she thought would push you to actually say that and start thinking like that.

So go, let's go back and study this hadith, line by line. First of all the prophets have Allahu alayhi wa sallam shares with us a statement of fact

that the strong believer is closer,

better,

higher and rank, more loved by Allah subhanaw taala than a weak believer.

And that Allah said what what did he mean by the strong believer?

Obviously, the most important type of strength, the Hadith historically about is the strength of faith, once faith

and the clear indication is at the end of the Hadith, the prophet is going to talks about what Eman pada believe him harder.

The stronger your faith in Allah azza wa jal is

the better equipped you are to deal with life and whatever life brings your way.

So someone who has a stronger faith in Allah azza wa jal unbelief. That individual is obviously closer to Allah more loved by Allah azza wa jal

The scholars also said because strong believers do more for themselves and for the Ummah,

they're more productive.

And they said, by extension,

right, though it's not primarily what the prophecies are meant by the strong believer.

Physical strength also, if we have two believers, both of them are strong in terms of their Eman at the same level of strength, but one is stronger physically

or mentally,

intellectually, financially, obviously they're going to be better in terms of what they can do for the Ummah what they can do for themselves.

Right.

So a believer should strive to achieve a strength,

high level of strength and power for the sake of Allah azza wa jal not for the sake of power, power in and of itself is not something that we pursue. And Allah azza wa jal in the Quran tells us McKenna you read through the result of a in LA Zetta vallila. Here is that we Jamia

men can easily do whoever Riza is is glory, and one of the reasons people want strength and power is to achieve growth glory.

Also Riza can mean also strength.

So, people want it is

right this is naturally we human beings want there is

so Allah Subhana Allah says that whoever wants his or whoever is pursuing it is let him remember that to Allah belongs the ultimate strength and glory. In another place. Allah azza wa jal says in Quwata illa he Jamia?

That strings belongs to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah

and Allah azza wa jal in the Quran gives us a hint. By the way, this is one interesting topic that you might want to just research. Look up is the topic or the theme of Bhuwan core, strength and power. What the Quran says about core

right? Who was important, Allah azza wa jal is the Quran tells the body the Muslim community to prepare.

Why I do it, mazel tov to me, oh, what he will find

whatever is any form of strength, or believers pursue it.

Anything that will make the community stronger, pursue it. Allah subhanaw taala tells us to pursue Kula

Allah subhanaw taala also expects us to

take things with strength and power. take him seriously.

Allah subhanaw taala tells us that he told

Allah azza wa jal told the prophet Musa alayhis salam to tell his people, when Allah azza wa jal sent the Torah to him, the divine message for whole hubby who was in what more coma cat who will be sending her, take it with it, take it with a strength, be serious about your approach to the book of Allah, and the tradition of His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, take your deen seriously. Take it with a strength.

And Allah azza wa jal commanded Yeah, within the Kitab you

take the book with a strength

we wander, by the way, the greatest source of strength for us Muslims is what?

The book of Allah subhanaw taala

and part of the reason why we're weak is

to the book is weak.

If we're if we have strength in our approach to the Quran, the Quran will strengthen us

and that's why Allah as we it says to your hair, yeah, who will Kitabi who will take the book with strength?

So, it's a very interesting topic. Look it up and Allah azza wa jal says that, you know, tells us also in the Quran, something that will increase our strength is to repent to Allah, turn back to Allah azza wa jal and repentance and seek forgiveness from Allah was futile. Allah Subhana Allah azza wa jal says, Where is it come? Quwata illa Kuwaiti come, Allah will increase your strength

and the prophetic recommendation, by the way, they could also be another source of strength. That's why the province has Salam tells us to say what, what is the dua or the vicar that you should say whenever you feel

fatigue, whenever you feel weak, whenever you're depleted

and he feels like he needs strength.

Now how know and I quote, I love Allah.

Allah La hawla wala Quwata illa Allah, Allah he I know people who say this is miraculous. It's a miraculous right and I love Allah anytime you feel we

emotionally, physically, mentally, you're drained. You're just dwelling over that one thing one last one failure, one disappointment.

One pain that you can't get over the house, attain love Allah and see what it does.

La hawla wala Quwata illa biLlah there is no strength or power except with Allah subhanho wa Taala where is it come Courteney la cama Chico. So this idea of us being strong physically, mentally, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually is very important, something that we need to, we cannot settle.

So this is why I am this is how my life is no.

However, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam it says, what he couldn't hide,

whatever you can offer, whatever you can afford to do,

right? With equal in faith, then the province or SLM gives us

a roadmap.

He gives us some tips as to how we can achieve a strength. Because part of the issue is that we weaken ourselves and we have a sworn enemy out there that tries to take advantage of every opportunity, every failure, every loss to destroy us spiritually.

So whatever the greatest,

maybe the most common cause that causes people to lose their strength that drains us, is Shavon and the gates, the windows and gates

the axis that we give she upon into our lives,

by the way, nowadays Subhanallah and we without even realizing it, unintentionally we give shippon all kinds of access into our lives.

Right we're very careful maybe with regards to our privacy,

private and personal information, except when it comes to beliefs. We supply Shavon with everything just full access to all told them.

Well, hello Hola Hola. Hola, hola.

And chiffon, if you think that he's not taking advantage of all these addictions and all these habits, bad habits that we have. No, no, he's taking full advantage of it.

Ultimate goal of shaytaan is to destroy us to destroy you as a human being. Can I say shaytani? R they live in Sanic. Fulfill America for UCLA in the VideoMic have nothing to do with you.

So, so the problems are Selim says, one of the ways that you do this is close the gates of Shere Khan. But it begins before that. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says, Allah mind* adhere to or focus on what is beneficial to you.

Don't be sidetracked. Don't be distracted. Focus on what benefits you in this life and or in the Hereafter.

Focus on whatever benefits you

write, do not distract yourself. One of the prophetic tips is Midhurst in Islam and not eternal Ramallah and if you really want to improve your Eman and your Islam, you want to increase the quality of your Islam the promises and says avoid that which does not concern you.

At all Allah azza wa jal praises the believers in the Quran, one of the qualities of the believers will let you know whom and in love when

they turn away from vain talk from nonsense.

Is there any benefit of this no cost? I don't have time for this. As it is life is very short. We'll also be in early in Santa Fe hosts.

Yet Subhan Allah and this is something Shala topic I would like to address soon on this pulpit, Bismillah to Allah. We live in a time where we're bombarded with distractions left and right.

The average employee,

it takes the average employee 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back to task once they're distracted.

Imagine

you're doing something

a high number of employees report that they waste more than two hours a day on things that are not related to their work.

And the stats with regards to social media, tick tock and how they get into our psyche, how they get us addicted, and how they're getting us our children, Gen Z's and millennials man when it comes to distractions, just

but they got to us too. It's not like what I'm eating.

Right. And nowadays, you even see like people you see, you even see baby boomers, you know, just sitting out there doing the same exact thing.

Like there are certain things I can't imagine my father doing now I see people you know, maybe you're not his

This generation may be the doing, they got to us.

They got to us.

And hours and hours are wasted. On nonsense.

Left and right people watch all kinds of tips and life hacks, none of which they actually use. They're too busy watching these things. They're actually don't do anything.

Right? And sometimes people even complain, Oh, look, here's a new dish I learned. And if someone told me check, no, not from this community, I don't want anyone to get in trouble. So I actually have my wife keep watching all these, you know,

channels and learns all kinds of recipes. But I don't see anything.

I'm not getting anything out of it. total distraction is, am I

right? Am I so I'm like someone that has a particular focus wants to achieve something, they focus on it, and they get it done. And they master it. No, that's not what this was meant to happen to do. It's not meant to actually feed us with valuable beneficial information, and improve us.

Even those who put or produce, you know, good material out there. Rarely, the medium is not meant to do that. Because the next clip comes and completely distracts you. And you forget about that one valuable clip that someone else shared with you have you noticed this, someone sends you a clip, you're watching it, you're like, Oh, this is interesting. Or maybe I'll take a note of it. Right. And if you're good, you can keep track of things, then you're save it. But the problem is, the next clip is going to show up and you will be tempted to watch it.

Right. That was the bait.

And he took the beat.

They pull you in. And before you know it, you want to check that one clip that a friend or

a colleague or a relative sent you before you know it half an hour goes by

how did I discover this?

So long story, and I don't want to waste your time.

So

the province of our services Eros, Allah mind* be keen on and focus on that which benefits you something that doesn't benefit you don't give it much attention. Then the prophesy Selim says, but in order to achieve that, you have to seek ALLAH SubhanA to have his help with certain Biller, well attaches seek helping Allah Subhana Allah to Allah.

Because Allah Subhana Allah will help you will guide you. Allah subhanaw taala will teach you what Allah where your limit, Allah, Allah Subhana Allah will strengthen you, Allah subhanaw taala would bless you. Allah Subhana Allah commands you in His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to excel in everything that you do that you plan very well and you execute very well with SM with excellence

and efficiency.

So that can only be achieved through level of excellence. By the way, it can only be achieved through because someone might say, well, I know someone who doesn't believe in Allah subhanaw taala they have a son, yes, they have. They have worldly son, but what happens if things go wrong? Do they have a son and how to deal with damage or with failure?

Do they have exam when it comes to that?

Right?

So the ultimate exam can only be achieved with a stronger relationship with Allah subhanaw taala So seek help in Allah Azza wa Jalla Serena was somebody was salah, Allah azza wa jal tells us when we suffer a loss to universe somebody is Allah, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam one of the things that he did one of the sources of his strength was Kenny that has ever who shaped Salah

he has x he had access to Allah Subhana Allah so whenever things are overwhelmed the prophets of Allah they send them who was the strongest of all men. So Allah Allah Salim yet he didn't say well I can handle this he turned to Allah azza wa jal in humility, and he would pray sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala well, that touches and do not fail to do that.

They met with the ultimate eyes and competence is for you to not to take advantage of an open channel of communication that you have with Allah subhanaw taala, the ultimate, the Almighty, who is also the source of all the strength

that's a failure.

Yes, you got the diagnosis? Yes, you know what the treatment plan is? And you know what your chances of survival or the procedure succeeding or not, yes, you know, all of this, and you got it all calculated, and you have done your research

and you know what you're doing.

But only Allah Subhana Allah has control do not fail to turn to Allah azza wa jal in humility.

And ask Allah subhanaw taala in name is Sunil guru and Tamra.

Don't Don't Don't fail to do that.

What a failure.

If someone fails to actually turn to Allah subhanaw taala ask Allah azza wa jal for help. So he says, What's the in biller what attaches.

And then finally, the Prophet SAW Selim says after you plan very well and you execute very well, things may not go the way you may not end up getting the outcome that you were looking for.

So, do not fail at that stage and say, Oh, had I done this? Had I done that? And then guess what?

Fail when it comes to the test of adult

don't do that? Well, I can call that Allahumma Shafaq. Don't dwell over the failure or the negative or the undesirable outcome.

Because there is nothing that you could have done differently to change the outcome.

There is absolutely nothing.

You cannot change a second.

You cannot change anything.

I will conclude by saying this My dear brothers and sisters.

During the time of the Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam, the companions of the prophets of Allah they Salem suffered a loss in the battle of 170 of the companions of the process and were killed. Many of them they were disfigured and mutilated.

Some of the hypocrites they said had they listened to us and withdrew when we withdrew. Because about 1/3 of the army withdrew. Halfway to hurt, they withdrew. They said had our cousins

and our friends and our tribe men. Listen to us. Had they listened to us? Mama to Mr. Potato, they would have not been dead or killed.

And Allah subhana wa Taala responded to this claim of the hypocrites. And he said to tell the Prophet sallahu wa salam to tell them oh Lo Khun tomb feeble ut comme la Rosa Lavina quotevalet Human Katroo de la magaji Rahim say to them that if you were at home,

in the comfort of your own, on your bed sleeping, those who upon whom Allah azza wa jal had written death would have died.

There is nothing we can change about it.

Find that out of the homeless shelter and let's be very careful I say this and ask Allah Subhana Allah to make you and I have those who listen and follow the best of where they listen to Apollo has our WhatsApp for Allah Ali welcome First of all, we have to look them in the hula photo Rahim.

hamdu Lillahi wa Cabo salatu salam ala evadne living in Osaka Allah but the worst

outcome that human beings fear is what

and Allah Subhana Allah says pull in all modalities of your own I mean hopefully no one else here can say that that you try to avoid it evade

you try to run away from it. It's going to face you you're going to

we're not going to people who say things like oh, he escaped that no, you cannot escape that.

He died way too soon. No, no, no, you cannot die too soon.

What I have to rely on some of the statements are just so grossly just, you know.

I can't even I don't want to even say some of the things that people say when I had the biller.

What we should say instead is could we have seen that remote liquidity Agilent keytab. fader Tjahaja who knows that you're gonna say I don't wanna suck the mood. This is this is the Quranic message that we keep hearing.

And when you reach that level of a man nothing can overpower you.

Nothing. I mean, there's this lie that I love in the show like Arturo, whenever he says, You're agile, protects you.

Your agile protects you.

Earlier the Allah Allah said it beautifully. He said Al Mejia Mina and multi FL yo Mala pudiera am Yama

Yama, Allah, Allah Allahu Allah rely on you.

And Helen.

He says which of the of the two days am I going to escape death? The day is written upon me or the day it wasn't even written.

If it's not written upon me that day, then why should I stress?

Why should I be afraid?

Fear can be debilitating.

Right? He says and if it's written,

then whatever it is,

return is not I'm not gonna be able to escape,

no matter how careful I am.

And we're not saying let your guards down but this this idea that we just somehow feel like we're going to be that one person.

Right and then we end up failing is as problematic as Mr.

Again we have to be very cautious, right?

We have to be very cautious. However, we cannot change the color of Allah subhanaw taala and once something happens, there is nothing like being content and accepting the culture of Allah subhanho wa Taala

so do not open the gates of sheet on upon yourself, do not allow she upon access, denied she upon access into your heart and into your thoughts.

I ask Allah subhanaw taala to protect all of us and ask Allah azza wa jal to shower with his mercy.

Our brothers and sisters who passed away

our relatives

whose time was up and they pass away May Allah azza wa jal have mercy upon our fathers and our mothers and aunts and our uncles and our cousins, and all of our relatives. We ask Allah subhanaw taala to shower them with mercy. We ask Allah azza wa jal to grant us mercy to shower us with Mercy once we catch up with them. We ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, to help our brothers and sisters who have been devastated with some of these

natural disasters in different parts of the Muslim world. My dear brothers and sisters, I urge you not to forget our brothers and sisters in different parts of the world. Right? A lot of people were moved when they saw what happened in Pakistan, you know, the flooding and all of that but many people once it's no longer trendy, we forget about them now actually, many of these families or individuals, now their struggle begins when everyone forgets about them. So please continue your support and if you have anything that you can offer, do not hesitate May Allah azza wa jal never put you in I in that situation. rubella Taco Bell Mina in the Kansas City of an alley.
